FORMULA

a(n) = (A000032(n))^2.

G.f.: ( 4-7*x-x^2 ) / ( (1+x)*(x^2-3*x+1) ). - Len Smiley (smiley(AT)math.uaa.alaska.edu), Nov 30 2001

a(n)=r^n+(1/r)^n+2*(-1)^n, with r=(3+sqrt(5))/2. a(n+3)=2*a(n+2)+2*a(n+1)-a(n). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Feb 08 2003

a(n) = L(2n) + 2(-1)^n = L(n-1)*L(n+1) + 5(-1)^n.

a(n) = 5*Fib(n)^2+4*(-1)^n.

a(n)+a(n+1) = A106729(n). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 17 2011

E.g.f.: 2*exp(-x)*(exp(5*x/2)*cosh(sqrt(5)*x/2)+1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 14 2012
